Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9739304A1] The present invention relates to a shell-firing barrel weapon which fires shells (3) provided with programmable electronic fuses (7) and in which the fuses (7) are programmed inside the cartridge chamber (12) of the weapon. Since the barrel (11) of the weapon is presupposed to be made of steel, the programming pulses are transmitted to the fuses (7) via one or more contact pins (13) which are let into the barrel (11) and are electrically insulated in relation to this and which are arranged in such a manner that, when the shells (3) are rammed home in the cartridge chamber (12) of the weapon, the pins come into contact with an electrically conductive contact band (9) which is let into the respective shell and has an external diameter which is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the barrel and therefore does not come into contact with the inside of the barrel. Said contact band (9) is then in turn electrically insulated in relation to the main part (5) of the shell (3). The feedback of the programming pulses then takes place via the main part (5) of the shell body to the barrel (11) and back to the programming device (17) concerned.
